误：The young man worked very hardly and soon began to get ahead.
正：The young man worked very hard and soon began to get ahead.
析：句中修饰work的是副词，hardly虽然是副词，但是意为"几乎不"，所以用hard，意为"努力地"。
析：feel在此处为系动词，其后应接形容词作表语。
误：She has no alive relatives.
正：She has no living relatives.
析：alive是表语形容词，可做后置定语，但是不能做前置定语，所以句子中要用living。
误：For them enthusiasm is fairly more important than talent.
正：For them enthusiasm is a lot more important than talent.
析：fairly只能修饰形容词和副词的原级，不能修饰比较级，可用于修饰形容词副词比较级的副词或短语有：a lot，a bit，a little，any，by far，even，far，much，no，rather，still等。
误：I knew terrible something had happened.
正：I knew something terrible had happened.
析：修饰anything，something，everything，nothing等不定代词的形容词都要放在它们的后面，做后置定语。
误：This building is more taller than that one.
正：This building is taller than that one.
误：The weather here is nicer than Wuhan.
正：The weather here is nicer than that of Wuhan.
析：同样的事物才能相比较，句中的weather和Wuhan不具有可比性，只有"这里的天气"和"武汉的天气"才能放在一起比较。
误：I’d rather play tennis than swam.
正：I’d rather play tennis than swim.
误：She is the most beautiful of the two girls.
正：She is the more beautiful of the two girls.
析：两者相比较时，比较级前用定冠词，三者或三者以上的比较才用most。
析：句中的词组为would rather do…than do，than后要接动词原形。
误：The tulip is the more beautiful flower in John’s garden.
正：The tulip is the most beautiful flower in John’s garden.
析：表示"……是……中最……的"时，当句子中修饰的名词是单数的时候，应该用"主语+ be + the +形容词/ 副词最高级+单数名词"表示，不能用比较级。如果要用比较级表达最高级的意思，则可以使用"主语+ be +形容词 / 副词比较级+ than + any other +名词单数"来表示。上面的句子也可表达成 Tulip is more beautiful than any other flowers in John’s garden。
